NO MANIA BUILDUP AT ALL
Why is there practically no buildup this year for Wrestlemania 22? It's supposed to be their biggest show of the year but they haven't been hyping up anything... Except for the fact that it's Wrestlemania. They work all year for Wrestlemania, you know.

There have been no angles or storylines built up for the past few months. Everything is being thrown together in the last month or so. How is anyone going to be hyped for this shit (and I do mean shit) when you have no actual idea what the hell is going to happen? What about Kane, Big Show, every tag team, Carlito, Masters, JBL, Boogeyman, Lashley, RVD, Shelton Benjamin, The Con Man (HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! We all know what he'll be doing; popcorn vendor), and now Rey Mysterio?

The only one angle or storyline they've been progressively pushing is HBK vs Vince. ONE god damn match they've been setting up to happen at Mania. Even though I'd rather have HBK face a wrestler, I'm really into this storyline, and want to see the match that has yet to be announced. If they did this with every other match, maybe people would care.

We know that Cena vs HHH is going to happen, but it has yet to be booked on actual TV. It has not been built up at all... Only on the internet. I can think of one small thing that actually involved HHH and Cena together.

Their has been absolutely no build up for their two biggest matches for the night. We just found out who Angle is going to face at Mania. Yay, now the WWE have like 5-6 weeks to do something they normally do for months. There's no storyline for Cena in mania.

It's really stupid of the WWE to only build up the fact that it's Wrestlemania. I'm most likely going to miss Mania this year and you know what? Right now I don't care too much.

End rant.

HBK/McMahon's been buiding up.
Orton/Angle/(possibly Mysterio) is sort of being built up.
HHH/Cena will probably start on Monday.
Edge/Fole just started.


There's like 5 weeks till Mania. They'll get their build up in somehow.

Yeah, but it's all going to be rushed. They should have saved Benoit and Booker T for Mania (Even though I'm against Benoit downgrading to the US title. He deserves to be in the main event). That match could possibly be the best of the night.

So it's going to be rushed because they only have five weeks to hype? You do realize they usually only have four week to hype a PPV right? *waits for the 'but its WM rant'*

That rant is true though. Wrestlemania is your biggest show of the year and you give it just as much hype as a regular PPV? Doesn't make it so special now does it?

It's not even that the matches on the card are THAT horrible. There have been worse, yet those Mania's still had me excited through build up, I have no desire to watch for the first time like... ever.

Just because you are "waiting for it" doesn't make the "rant" any less valid. If you are implying WM doesn't deserve more than the standard 4 weeks, why don't you explain why?

Of course the biggest payperview of the year is going to need longer build than the standard ones.

No Way Out Spoilers
What really gets me is that the WWE hasn't changed its original plans at all. Randy Orton is still challenging for the World Heavyweight Title, Triple H is still challenging for the WWE Championship. The WWE shook things up with a potential Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio or Edge vs. Rey Mysterio main event. Now Rey has no program for the card what-so-ever.

The WWE should just focus on getting as many talented guys on the card as possible to take away from this fact. Have Chris Benoit face William Regal for the United States Championship; have MNM defend the WWE Tag Team Championship against Paul London & Brian Kendrick and The Mexicools in a TLC Match, etc.

Edge vs. Mick Foley should be good, and I can see this being a WM-style match. Angle vs. Orton is likely going to be one of those "this should be good, but I wish it had a story matches". The plans are for Orton to win his second World Heavyweight Championship, I think, but I really hope Angle retains the title.

For some reason, I still see Rey Mysterio vs. Booker T as being on the WrestleMania card, even though Booker is no longer US Champion.

Eddie Guerrero died, Batista got injured, the fans turned on John Cena, and Chris Jericho left. Those things probably fucked with their long terms plans a little bit, which would account for the current state of things.

If Bats didnt get injured it would have been Bats vs Orton but cena getting booed had nothing to do with his wm main event. If Cena didnt get booed they would have had him go over HHH at this years wm after a year long run. Cena would still go over HHH so that dosnt change much.

I think the wwe are just getting lazy in all aspects of thier production now. I mean they left the belts on two face champions for roughily the same time for no good reason as they where not making much money and in cena's case hurting the product. Also the last few manias they have including this one they have had the same heel/face runs.

If anybody thinks that Cena is going to beat Triple H at WrestleMania, you are a fucking ignorant ass.

Beat you to it Y3J.

Anyway to answer Fox, that feud was about both men wanting to be WWF(E) Champion. Both wanted to be the best, only one could be, and it was a fitting end to the Attitude Era.

HHH/Cena should have been built up over at least a couple, if not three, months. Instead, because Cena was getting such horrible reactions, they hot-shotted the title to Edge and played out that storyline, which only finished this past Thursday on RAW. There has been absolutely no build-up for HHH/Cena, and there won't be until at least another 2 weeks, because the #1 Contender tournament isn't over yet! Like someone else said, the split brands means they have half as much time as in previous years to build up for Mania, and it really seems to be a big problem.

At WM 20, the first WM after the brand split, it was Benoit/HHH/HBK, which had been built up since the night afte Royal Rumble. That's how you build a main event match.

At WM 21, Batista/HHH was also very strongly built up, as the dissention within Evolution began all the way back at New Year's Revolution, leading through the Royal Rumble and into Mania.

WM 19 was actually the fist after the brand split.

While long term WM plans, I think, were in the works, remember that Mania isn't the absolute ONLY PPV that the WWE has. They ALSO have to sell it's OTHER PPV's on the way to WM. Than may account for at last some of the answer.

The storylines are there now, I think. They may act on them now. The Triple Threat WHC match is pretty must a lock in now, as the WWE is REALLY getting flack for their treatment in this whole Orton/Rey thing (and I do like Rey despite all the critisism, so I'm hoping he's still in the running). Remember, too, that they have extended time between NWO and WM (about 5 weeks instead of the usual 4) to let the floodgates open.

If they do indeed put the belt on Orton, I hope Angle still stays in the title picture with him and 'tista (when he comes back). Though, I'd be perfectly fine with an Angle/Lashley fued

I really believe Angle should retain the title at WrestleMania, even holding it until Batista comes back. Randy Orton should get enough of a rub headlining WrestleMania. There is no urgency in giving Orton his second World Title reign.

Looks like we'll get a Money in the Bank Match at WrestleMania. I hope they don't make it a ladder match, as I still want to see my TLC Match fantastisies come true. A TLC Match on the card might make me buy Mania.

Carlito, Rob Van Dam, Shelton Benjamin, Chavo Guerrero, Ric Flair & Chris Masters would be my picks for the match (provided there are no ladders). Give the win to either RVD or Shelton Benjamin.

Give the win to RVD and have him challenge at Survivor Series after the champion goes through the Survivor Series match on RVD's team.My scenario goes a little something like this;RVD and Face Champion are on the same team RVD is eliminated first after taking a move that wouldnt usually beat him and after that the champ outlasts everyone else and is the sole survivor and after the match gets a beatdown from the entire other team and is left lying when "Walk"(RVD changes his music to get more of an ECW feel) hits and RVD Comes out and cleans house he then gets on the mic and says he is using his MITB and hits the Five Star on the champion and pins them for the win and the title.
